I'm a nice-looking man with a beautiful wife and two great kids. I used to publish magazines, but now I pretend I'm an investigative reporter. It's one way to survive my year in jail.

MizB at Should Be Reading hosts Teaser Tuesdays. Here's how it works: Grab your current read; let the book fall open to a random page; and share 2 “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12. For more teasers, click on through to MizB's blog.

EDIT: Apparently neither Powell's nor Indiebound has the book in stock. Look for it at Amazon.
okay, so that *was* a great tease, but the book sounds kinda morose; is it?! (I don't wanna read sad books! LoL)

That teaser makes me want to grab the book. I like to read which are so much different!
ReplyDeleteTuesdays: What's up?
I can pass up the fantasy (like Fire Study) but for some weird reason this book appeals to me. I like stories where people survive in situations like this.
